Hi everyone This is not a species I would normally report but it seems awfully late to see a White Crowned Sparrow. I observed it for about 40 minutes today in my yard (Orleans Ontario near Innes Road and Belcourt) as it moved from a pussy willow ( low hanging ) to a smoke bush and back to a cedar hedge. It was actively feeding in the snow on nyger seeds that were dropping from a finch feeder (Goldfinches) above the willow . I expect it will move on once tonight's snow is done but I will keep checking just in case....I managed a few photos and three can be seen starting here......
